This past week, G.O.O.D Music came out with their first album, titled "Cruel Summer." To start, I personally love G.O.O.D, considering them like the Avengers of Hip-Hop today, with big time rappers such as Jay-Z, Kanye West, Big Sean, DJ Khaled, Kid Cudi, and Raekwon. Not only is it a group of rappers, but it also includes R&B singers such as R. Kelly and John Legend. Jay-Z started the label, with him being the Batman and Kanye being the Robin of the organization. However as time has progressed more and more rappers have joined the label, after being found mostly by Kanye. Last summer, G.O.O.D consisted only of Jay and Kanye, when they came out with their first album together, "Watch the Throne." My personal favorite on the album, was Otis, which used a remixed Otis Redding song, as the beat for the song, creating a really new and cool feel to the whole song.

Off G.O.O.D's new album I would have to say my favorite song so far is, "To the World" It uses R.Kelly's amazing voice as the chorus followed by hard verses coming from Kanye, overall a very good opening song to in my opinion a very good album.

Overall I think the album has received all around good reviews, however I want to know what you think. Do you like the 'Avengers' of rap with Kanye sort of at the center of it all? Or do you think they should stay as separate artist? Let me know.
